BOVARD CARILLON FIXED
Boils back in action
after two-week silence
By PATTI REin
It's amazing what one discovers as p Daily Trojan reporler.
Yesterday afternoon's peal of “Fight On" (especially appropriate since USC was rated No. 1 in the nation) was the result of trying to oe too thorough in analyzing why the bells were silent.
Noticing that our hells have been silent for the last two weeks, I thought it would be appropriate to investigate the carillon system.
Brian Heimerl. director of the Guest Relations staff, gave me a detailed tour of the S125.000 carillon in the top of Bovard Auditorium.
In addition to explaining all the details of the carillon, he also showed me the carillon console which is in the balcony of Bovard.
Seminar set for tonight at I-House
“The Formulation of American Foreign Policy” will be discussed tonight at 8 at the International Student House, University Ave. and 28th St. Martin Omansky. second year graduate student in international relations. will be the lecturer and seminar leader.
Tonight's seminar is the first in a series of discussions on international lelations. The seminars, consisting of lecture and discussion, will be held bi-weekly on Wednesday nights at the I-House.
“The series will attempt to stimulate discussion between U.S. and foreign students and to make the USC community more aware of the I-House.” Omansky said.
“Most important, we are interested in increasing the contact between U.S. and foreign students on this campus, and feel that the I-House program will be an excellent vehicle for that contact.”
The carillon console controls pipes in Bovard and also in the Von KleinSmid Center. While Brian was showing me the console, he noticed that the master control button was off— he turned it on and we raced back to the carillon and it was fixed. Then we played the traditional “Fight On” to celebrate our victory and the return of the bells.
The carillon was installed last vear after being donated by the Town and Gown Women's Guild. It is located on the third floor of Bovard with underground pipes leading to VKC where four speakers magnify and broadcast the chimes.
The music suddenly stopped a couple of weeks ago. No one apparently knew why. In our investigation yesterday we happened to find the right button in the console and the bslls began ringing again.
Heimerl said he couldn't imagine anv reason why the carillon console master control was turned off. To his knowledge it hadn't been used since a concert last semester.
The tapes include a recording of the Big Ben bells which chime every half hour beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 10 p.m. USC also has a series of tapes which are played at different times during the year. These include songs. Christmas carols and ceremonial songs.
“Our carillon is far superior to the one at UCLA, which plays songs daily at noon. Our s also has a larger tonal range.” Heimerl said.
LAST CHANCE FOR TROLIOS
Final casting auditions for the
1967 Trolios will be held tonight from 7:30 to 11 p.m. in the third-floor lounge of the Student Union.
No appoinment will be necessary for students who wish to participate in the production as writers, actors, singers, or dancers, Director Alan Hubbs. said.
Troy Week schedule jam resolved by compromise
By STAN METZLER City Editor
The Great Compromiser has struck again.
He is Clive Grafton, director of special events.
He coined the nickname himself minutes after finding an out for the Troy Week scheduling conflict that had set the ASSC Executive Council, the Troy Week Committee and the Drama Department back on their heels.
The conflict centered on Bovard Auditorium.
Both Trolios and a drama production were scheduled there on Wednesday evening, Nov. 15.
On Friday, Nov. 17—the eve of the UCLA game—drama had again scheduled Bovard, and the Troy Camp Committee had planned a bonfire* rally-dance about 100 feet away in front of Tommy Trojan.
The compromise, which moves Trolios to Tuesday, Nov. 14, and the rally-dance to Fagg Park, between the men's and women's dormitories, was first suggested after a meeting yesterday at the YWCA of Grafton, ASSC President Marty Foley, Bill Mauk, Troy Week chairman, and Paul Moore, director of student activities.
Bill White, drama stage manager, was unable to attend the 10 a.m. discussion, which centered on the questions of how this conflict could be resolved and why it had happened in the first place.
Grafton stated at the beginning that he felt the Drama Department was entitled to the Wednesday evening date because of the number of other times they had moved for student events, and because of the apparent indecision until last week over whether there would even be a Trolios this year.
Mauk and Foley, on the other hand, felt that since Troy Week had been scheduled first and was by now firmly established as Trojan tradition, they should not be moved.
The meeting broke up at 11, with nothing accomplished except some loud rhetoric. A few minutes later, however. Foley suggested moving the Trolios date back one day; and scheduling the drama performances on Wednesday. Thursday and Saturday, instead of Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Grafton agreed to talk to White yesterday afternoon, and in the early evening, after confirming the plans
with Mauk, announced that the solution had been found.
“Bill and I agreed that the rally-dance was not so traditional that the location couldn’t be changed," Grafton explained, “especially since Tommy Trojan will be covered anyway.
“Last year we had about 800 people at the bonfire and it was awfully crowded in1 front of Tommy Trojan. Bill expects nearly 2,000 this year, and we can really use the extra space in Fagg Park and the Birnkrant area.”
The ASSC and the Drama Department seemed relieved the conflict had been resolved at this date.
“Everybody was most agreeable to it,” Grafton said.
“This is the role of administration.”
Despite the agreeable position of all parties, however, the general scheduling question was not resolved.
The Troy Week Committee believed that it had established the four major Troy Week dates as “closed nights' foi student activities,
but Grafton said this could not be done.
And although the rally-dance and drama production will now be able to go on at the same time, both are likely to suffer from the other's attraction. (A DKA movie and U.S.-Oxford debate are planned the same night in Founders Hall and Hancock Auditorium).
“Calendaring is tough on this campus,” Grafton commented. “Especially when there are so nany people wanting to use the same limited facilities.”
WILL TOPPING APPROVE?
Pompon girls await OK
AncLher pillar of Ttojan tradition is crumbling.
Having passed the ASSC Council, the proposal for pompon girls to join the traditionally all-male spirit machine awaits formal approval by President Topping tomorrow.
Members of the ASSC Council complimented Norm Wilky, vice-president of student activities, and John Hagestad. chairman, for their work on such a “good and detailed method of selection for pompon girls.”
“One particular answer to the problem of low attendance at basketball games is the institution of a song leader program,” Wilky said. “We feel that five girls leading the rooting section in songs and performing during breaks in the game will be a beneficial spirit booster.”
All male members of the Council and Suzanne De Ball voted in favor of the proposal, while Karen Mazepink, AWS president, led the three girls who opposed the proposal.
“I really think it's sad that our basketball team is so bad we have to plan a program to have five girls dance in order to .get attendance,” Miss Mazepink said,
“I am very much opposed to having song girls at USC and I represent the AWS and Panhellenic who are also against the proposal.’’
Andrea Aber, Panhellenic President, did not attend the meeting because of illness.
"We've got a damn fine team, the best on the West Coast, and we need some support. I’d like to see
the ASSC do something to get support,” ASSC President Marty Foley-said in support of the proposal.
Several members of the council felt that the lack of a pompon girl tradition was not sufficient reason to discourage the proposal.
“I simply like to see pompon girls,'' said Bob Lutz, vice-president of academic affairs.
Before passing the pompon girl proposal, the council added an amendment limiting the girls to appearances only at basketball games. If an extension is desired later, it must be voted upon by the council at that time.
Foley believes rnost students don t want pompon girls in front of football stands.
Ron Jacobson, sophomore representative. favored the girls at all athletic events, to encourage school spirit he feels is definitely lacking all around.
“I hate to see the council close any doors. Al Levine, senior class president, said.
If approved tomorrow by President Topping, applications will be available October 9-13 in the ASSC office, 324 Student Union, to women (Continued on Page 2)
Former student now publications director
SDS guest to talk on new political party
John Haag, Los Angeles County co-ordinator of the Peace and Freedom Party, will speak at the Students for a Democratic Society meeting today at noon in 129 Founders Hall.
The Peace and Freedom Party, a third political party, grew out of a movement to curb what the party considers to be American aggression and to improve the living conditions of underprivileged people in the United States.
“We are forming the Peace and Freedom Party to develop a political force by which people can control the political and economic forces which rule their lives,” Haag said yesterday.
“We do not feel this can be done through the established parties, which are the arms of the power structure and which enforces the status quo instead of producing necessary change.”
An attempt is being made to have
67,000 people register with the party by Jan. 11, in order to qualify for the
1968 ballot. In Los Angeles alone, more than 3,000 people have already registered with the party.
Haag has served as chairman of Southern California for New Politics, Los Angeles co-ordinator of International Days of Protest, and president of the Du Bois Club.
Thirty years ago. Dale Hilton was a student at USC. Ten years ago he was a professor here.
Monday he came back — not as a student or professor, but as the newly-appointed director of student publications.
For the 29-year Navy veteran, the return was a happy one-
“It has been wonderful to renew old acquaintances and to appreciate the progress which has been made,” he said yesterday.
Hilton succeeds Tim Reilly, who is now director of advertising and public relations for Jack Kent Cooke's California Sports Enterprises, Inc.
After his graduation in 1936. Hilton enlisted in the Navy and began a career which lasted until 1965, when he retired as a captain.
He doesn’t think the transition from military to civilian life was difficult.
“An officer in the armed services works closely with civilians and industry," he said. “It is easy for him to associate and identify with them.”
A highlight of Hilton's military career was in 1961 when he was given command of the attack-aircraft carrier US.S. Lexington.
“This is a thrill for any officer,” he said.
Hilton, a graduate of the National War College in Washington. D.C., served in the Pentagon as assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Security Affairs. He was a professor of naval science a.:d commander of the ROTC unit here in 1956-57.
In 1965. he retired from the Navy

to become president of an automobile dealership.
For the Hilton family. USC has come to have a very special meaning. In fact, it has almost become a family name. Hilton's wife also is an alumna; it was here that he first met and courted her. Their daughter, Peggy. is now a junior here.
Hilton's major goal at this Lime is to orient himself with the duties and tasks of his new position. After this is accomplished, any necessary changes can be made.
“We will try to maintain the status quo for awhile,” he said. “Any person who comes to a new job with new ideas and hopes to accomplish them in five minutes is completely wrong.”
Information bank claims to know almost anything'
By MIKE PARDRIDGE
Although only five months old, WESRAC claims to know all there is to know about almost anything, from aerodynamics and nuclear engineering to lubricants and paint.
And it is quite likely that WESRAC speaks the truth, for WESRAC operates by computer.
Located on the USC campus, the Western Research Application Center (WESRAC) is a non-profit Regional Information Dissemination Center operating in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The purpose of WESRAC is to make available to private industries the research and engineering data that has previously been compiled by other companies.
“We’re trying to prevent industries from redoing what has already been done before. It's that simple,” said A. Kendell Oulie. director of WESRAC.
WESRAC provides clients with information and guidance on new materials, systems, processes, and products, the majority of which has been compiled by NASA.
Additional sources of technological information include the Department of Defense, the Atomic Energy Commission, federal agencies and contractors, and American industry and research organizations, as well as numerous foreign sources including Iron Curtain countries.
WESRAC's information and data bank consists of more than
300,000 documents on 20,000 different topics.
Operating with a staff of 23. the WESRAC system involves four steps in bringing information to clients.
• A specialist — either a member of the USC faculty or a graduate student — is assigned by WESRAC to work on the company's particular problem. This person is someone very familiar with the topic.
• At the Center, the specialist works together with information systems experts, devising computer strategies needed to extract the documents which would be of interest to the client.
• Results of the computer search are carefully evaluated by the specialist. He then selects only what he considers the most pertinent documents and excerpts of these are made and sent to the client.
• These excerpts are then studied by the client's technical staff. A final selection is made and WESRAC then supplies the company with full copies of the chosen documents. The WESRAC specialist remains available to the client for any future consultation on the subject.
WESRAC was established with a S500.000 grant awarded by NASA, and the overall facility runs at an annual cost of over $500,000.
“We feel this is a good thing for business in Southern California. But more important, it provides faculty and students with the opportunity of utilizing information sources,” Oulie said.
“The theory is to upgrade the whole economy; to improve things for everybody.”
